《Keeping The Balance》Chapter Forty-Three - Bullied Model Student - Task World Four (3)
Advertisement
Hol felt annoyed once he realized school was ending and he would be separated from his lover. He wanted to hang out longer with them but he knew it would be weird if he acted so close to someone he met today. So Hol reluctantly looked at Glenn leaving school as he stood in front of the school gate.
He took out a cigarette to smoke as he waited for the shitty step-brother and their ride to arrive. Hol noticed that someone was standing next to him but he didn’t pay attention to them at all. He took out his phone and started to look through random things on his social media app.
“How was your first day today, Alex? I saw that you made friends with Glenn. That's nice but I heard some things about him that are a bit concerning…” Clyde gave a concerned look to Alex but he couldn’t help but smirk on the inside. He wanted to end the friendship between Alex and Glenn before they get closer. Clyde was having a hard time focusing as he was surrounded by smoke.
“The fuck is it your business? Also, don’t talk to me in school or outside of school. Actually, just don’t appear in front of me, or else I will get pissed off.” Hol didn’t bother to listen to their bullshit as he blew smoke in Clyde's face and felt pleased when they started to cough.
They didn’t get to say anything back before a car arrived and stopped in front of them. Hol threw his cigarette on the ground before heading inside of the car. He slammed the door behind him before Clyde could get in and lock it. He was being childish but he didn’t care. He felt rather pleased when they had to walk around the car to get into it.
Hol really didn’t want to go to the home of these shitty people but his grandmother was busy with something and she didn’t want him to be alone in the house. So she allowed the scumbag father to let him stay at their house for a few hours.
He wasn’t looking forward to this but he just had to last for a few hours. The drive to the scumbag father's house was short but it felt super long in Hol's eyes. It was mostly due to the fact Clyde kept trying to talk to him and talking shit about Glenn. He also didn’t like the way he was getting looked at by them, it felt really gross.

When they finally reached the house, Hol got out of the car first and headed into the house. He opened the door and slammed it shut with his foot. A loud bang echoed throughout the house and he was pretty sure he heard a woman scream at the sound, it was probably the woman the scumbag father married.
“Alex… You shouldn’t slam the door like that! What if you break it?!” Hol was greeted by the scumbag father who was frowning at him and Hol just lit another cigarette, making sure not to break eye contact. The scumbag father was a few inches taller than him and the suit they were wearing made it seem like they were taller. They have olive-colored skin, which was darker than Hol skin. Their face was rather round but it didn’t get rid of their stern expression. Their hair was shaved and they had a beard on their face.
“It is not my fault if your door is so badly built that I can just break it by kicking it close. I guess you must be so poor that you have to buy cheaply made doors. I’m not surprised seeing as grandma has to give you money just to help your company not fail. So pathetic~ I wonder if you cry yourself to sleep since you are such a useless fuck. I wonder if your dick still works? Doubtful~” Hol was smirking as he noticed the expression on the scumbag father was getting really ugly. He walked past them and made sure to blow some smoke in their face.
Hol went and sat down on an expensive-looking couch, putting his shoes on the couch. He noticed it was getting dirty and he made sure to rub his shoes on it even more. He realized it was rather nice acting like an asshole to people who deserve it.
“Could you please not dirty the couch? It cost rather a lot to get this couch and I would like it not to get dirty so soon.” Hol looked over at the woman's voice who was now talking to him and couldn’t help but sneer when he saw it was the woman the scumbag father married. She was shorter than him and had fair skin. Her face was sharp-looking but in a way suited for a model. She was wearing expensive-looking makeup that helped make her dark green eyes stand out. Her shoulder-length hair was done nicely and she was wearing a bunch of expensive jewelry which matched well with the expensive dress she was wearing.

“Just buy another one… Or will it cost too much money for my dear old father? I feel so sorry for you, mother~” Hol couldn’t help but throw a smirk her way as he blew out more smoke. He felt pleased when she coughed and waved it away from her face. She threw a look at him before walking toward the scumbag father.
“Would you like to eat dinner with us, Alex? I would like to learn what happened during your time abroad.” Hol couldn’t help but be impressed with how quickly the woman switched from being annoyed with him and acting like a perfect mother. It was almost like she was trying to get close to him but he knew it was because she wanted to keep having all this money.
“I don’t wanna eat any crap made in this shitty house, especially if you make it. What if I get food poisoning? Grandmother will be so upset… And she would make sure you won’t get anymore money for your shitty company.” Hol put out his cigarette on the couch and took out a mint to pop into his mouth. He could feel the woman looking at the newly burnt hole in the couch and he could just imagine how mad she was.
“I...I see. Well, how about you hang out with your brother? I am pretty sure he wants to catch up with you.” Hol could hear her struggle as she spoke to him but she still had the voice of a kind mother and it made him want to puke. He looked over at Clyde who was standing next to their mother and he didn’t like the way they were staring at him.
“I don’t have a brother. My mom died before she could give me one. And quit acting like you didn’t fuck some other man and got pregnant with his child. It fucking hilarious that you guys are pretending that not a thing.” Hol didn’t want to waste time with this family of shitty people anymore and put in some wireless earbud. He started to listen to some metal music and started to message Glenn.
His mood started to improve as he was talking to his cute lover. They were a bit awkward with texting but he noticed that they liked to add some form of emojis to his text messages. It felt like they were getting closer as they kept texting. Hol even managed to convince them to go to school together tomorrow.
“Alex, your ride is here to take you to your grandmother's house.” Hol earbud was taken out of his ear and he glared at Clyde who was holding it in their hand. He got off the couch and didn’t even care if he had to look up at them.
“Don’t touch my shit unless you want to get a broken hand. Now I have to throw this out and get a new one, it's dirty now.” Hol took out his other earbud and threw it on the ground before walking past Clyde who was frowning at him.
Hol left the house and made sure to slam the door on his way out. He smirked when he heard the scumbag father curse and the woman trying to calm them down. Hol headed to the car waiting for him and he got in after the driver opened the door for him.
Hol felt rather relaxed as he sat in this car and didn’t feel the urge to smoke at all. He put his head on the car window and dozed off. It felt nice feeling his head getting moved around as the car drove him to his grandmother's house.
